Wisconsin city centre torched amid protests over police shooting of Jacob Blake
CA, 26 Aug 2020
Crews are cleaning up on Tuesday after multiple buildings were set on fire following the second night of protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin over the police shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black man shot multiple times in the back by police.
Kenosha County Board of Supervisors member Zach Rodriguez said the board would hold an emergency meeting on Tuesday on seeking federal help, such as U.S. Marshals Service officers, to quell the unrest after some 300 people set fire to buildings overnight.
Blake, 29, remained in intensive care following the incident. Blake's father says his son is paralyzed from the waist down.
The Kenosha Police Department says officers were responding to a report of domestic violence but haven’t said how Blake was involved.
